Even though appropriate management of priapism and prolonged erection supports early involvement of urologists, this may not always be feasible due to unavailability of these specialists. In such scenarios, conservative non-surgical methods must be attempted. However, very few guidelines and evidence-based treatment modalities exist in the literature making management of prolonged erection conjectural and challenging. Here we describe a case of prolonged erection successfully resolved with subcutaneous terbutaline.
